Stessa vs the competition

Hi everyone,

So I just purchased 2 properties and it is part of a portfolio loan. Its 2 properties in 1 single loan. I use Stessa only for the tracking feature (transactions). I have no need for the rent collection or tenant screening as this is a function my property manager does for me.

As I was inputting the properties, I noticed that Stessa does not support Portfolio loans (https://support.stessa.com/en/articles/2423581-mortgages-loa...)

This will become very difficult to keep track going forward. I wanted to reach out and ask what other alternatives to Stessa are out there. Maybe a free option like I have with Stessa now? Just looking for the automated transaction piece so that I don't have to go back to Excel.

Any advice would be extremely appreciated. Thank you

    The issue for me is that the Stessa Pro could not automatically categorize transactions. For example, payment from a person should be automatically trigger assignment of a property to it. Some software are using AI to automate but Stessa Pro could not even set rules for assignments. I assume it is trying to force people to use it's pay system. 

    At this stage I felt saving time is more important than saving money, without hiring a bookkeeper. So I am looking for options too.
